Japan supposedly went pretty bonkers over it when it was translated and first ported across, so I'd imagine it'll still be fairly popular over there for folks with their Switches.

I think there's been a reasonable amount of time since its launch that a fair few folks will pick it up to replay it on Switch. It's definitely not at the peak of its popularity, but it'll do just fine on Switch, I reckon.

I've seen a little bit of UT merch in the otaku quarters of Japan, not on the scale of home-grown content though.

Looking it up, it apparently outsold a Dragon Quest game on PSN, which is bonkers for Japan. I'm looking forward to when Clyde "Mato" Mandelin - he of Mother 3 translation fame and all around top guy - puts out his article on his Legends of Localization site about UT as it should make for good reading. I can't remember if I've linked this before, but here's a good article on his site if you've got a spare five to ten minutes.

I don't know what it is about Toby Fox, but his works seem to attract the worst kind of fans. The obsessive sort, I suppose, if you were to class it as something - like Rick and Morty, to use a more recent example. It's a shame as UT really is great, but I think its fans kicked the arse out of it somewhat to the point where Toby Fox actually had to come out and say "guys, it's alright if people don't like my game, honest".

Don't I know it. I'm a Homestuck fan too. Quite a few people probably made the crossing...

I feel sorry for him when it comes to releasing his next game though - it's bound to get countless comparisons to UT. I hope he makes it about amorphous blobs on a beach or something, although I bet somebody will still find a way to go "Lifeguard Blob is JUST like Undyne" or something.

The UT twitter is teasing an announcement of some sort tomorrow - Toby Fox has talked about his next game potentially being set in the same universe, and I'm super intrigued to see how this pans out tomorrow afternoon.

According to Toby's own Twitter, if you've got a completed save file for the PC/Mac version, you should boot it up tomorrow...

First off: do my choices matter? I'm now super-confused as to that. The bait-and-switch at the beginning was brilliant, but I'd be very surprised if our avatar didn't come back at some point.

Second off: is this an AU? (Is this just fantasy?) I suppose it must be, but I'd be surprised if it were that simple. It can't be the future, can it? Can it???

Third off: still waiting for the point where Susie becomes a sympathetic character.

Fourth off: we're adopting a pacifist playthrough this time around, buuuuut I wouldn't be surprised to find that's no longer the way to the 'true ending', or that it bites you in the behind later on. Toby's too tricksy to make that 'the right approach' a second time around, surely.

Finally started, I'm not far into it at all like I'm just fighting a ghost which looks awfully like a pillow or a punching bag in SMASH. It does seem good from what I have played and hope to continue and get that platinum trophy.
